It is happening, folks! The highly anticipated #CODNation Challenge is live!

The annual Race to Prestige has been renamed to the #CODNation Challenge, and it is live right now. The #CODNation Challenge brings popular gamer personalities together to stream Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for the entire weekend. All views, clicks, and donations from the stream will go directly to the Call of Duty Endowment Fund.

Personalities taking part in this year’s round-the-clock weekend stream include Jericho, GoldLove, Hutch, and VernNotice. Activision states that 2018’s #CODNation Challenge is “bigger and better than ever” because of the official launch for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The event is currently live, over on the #CODNation Challenge Twitch page, live from Treyarch’s Santa Monica, CA studio.

Tiltify and Activision are live with the annual #CODNation Challenge. Watch and donate to the Call of Duty Endowment as your favourite streamers kick butt.

The stream is sponsored by Gamestop, Lovesac, Scuf Gaming, ASTRO Gaming, and Kontrol Freak. All streamers featured throughout the #CODNation Challenge have teamed up with stream-for-charity organisation Tiltify, which allows audience members to donate as they watch. It features a minimum funding goal of $100 000 USD. This minimum should be enough to accrue, considering it is all about getting military veterans new jobs. A worthy cause! Last year’s stream garnered over $150 000 in donations, of which Activision matched to a maximum of $100 000, which made a total of $250 000. This year, Activision has pledged to match up to $500 000!
